![]() I paid my tuition at Northeastern, working co-op. must have been much easier for you at Yale on scholarship, and not have to work and study and bet hosses at the same time. Thurston Howell III spoke of you Yale men often. It's Sunday, shouldn't you be prayin for a happy death instead of being on the computer? have a nice summer, El Prado.

![]() Woman, not man. I never did go to Yale. Dad was USAF. That was the year he was transferred to Okinawa, 200 miles off shore of Red China. The commute would have been a bit much.

![]() This is fun, I'll join in . . . EP is always fun. I had the GI bill, scholarships and fellowships to put my 8 years together. Married with 2 kids. And a couple of loans. Helk man, nowadays I'd have to have a part time job too and sell drugs on the side to afford it. And now I work at the Great Dallas Zoo. HUH!? We actually have ponies at the zoo for kiddy rides so there's my horse forum connection. Cute ponies too!

![]() Going the military route can pay dividends....tony and I are both vets, as is our oldest. He works on the river now with a big towboat company out of paducah, he loves that job....and great pay and benefits. Tony has a great job as an electrician which he learned there.
Our youngest was hoping to go to Annapolis, but didn't make it. Lsu made a nice offer, but after talking with the recruiter, he joined the navy. Why pay to get a degree when they'll teach you while you get paid, and get hands on experience to boot? and he still has a shot at OCS and his real dream of being a pilot. In the meantime, he went nuclear electronic tech....and just got a massive bonus for reupping to 2019. They don't like spending all that time on training and qualifying just to have you leave, so they made it worth his while to stay.

![]() Dad was Army then. Went through the Philippines, Iwo Jima, Okinawa and was scheduled to be in the force that went to Japan before they surrendered. He re-upped after the war and also served in Korea. Stayed in 21 years. Mom was English. They met in England after the war. I was born in Liverpool. You could say I'm well traveled.

![]() I'm good friends with someone from around Paducah, Buddy Hall. One of the best pool players in history. He's living around Paducah now. Look him up on YouTube. One of the people that taught me pool.
